Equipment

Jack Davis Asked 7 years ago

I have been playing TT for 1 year now and I'm in need for a new cheap blade. So I came here to ask if you knew of any CHEAP blades (without rubber) that I could purchase as I have little to pay for a my love of TT.  

I am devoloping a high topspin back and forehand stroke but my paddle is toast.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Jack,

You can get an old bat even a cheap pre made bat and use the blade form that.  I have tried it and it works really well.  The more important thing is the quality of the rubber.

For a backup paddle I was thinking of doing 729 FX Super rubber by RITC on both fore and backhand. Is that a good choice ?

Yes it is a good rubber.

I'll put that on a pre-made paddle. Thank you for all the tips.

You will be able to use a 2mm sponge.
